Asterisk Gallery Benefit

Dana Deprew is planning Asterisk Gallery’s 5th Annual Benefit.  He is looking for artists to donate a work.  He is especially interested in featuring artists who’ve taken part in exhibitions over the past year as a sort of showcase.  That includes many of you who were included in the Image + Object exhibition.  (Photo III: this will count as 1 local exhibition requirement).

All work is auctioned with bids starting at $30.  So not only is this a great opportunity to support an important community arts organization in our area, its also a chance to pick up some new art for your pad at a great price.

Silent Bidding starts on Fri, Dec 11, 5-10pm and ends Sat, Dec 12, 6-11pm.

Local Student Art Competition

Now this is interesting:

Gala Gallery, a new gallery in Legacy Village is holding an exhibition/competition for students (HS & college) in major cities on the 41st  Parallel North.  This includes Chicago, Cleveland, Porto, Barcelona, Rome, Tbilisi and Istanbul.

$500 First prize is awarded by gallery visitors’ voting.  And I can’t find anything about an entry fee.  The gallery has a commercial and international (travel) angle.

Check their website to get a feel for what they’re about.
